Mexican Dorito Casserole

I'm not even gonna pretend that this anything but what I call "Trash Food." Every once in a while trash food is the best kind of food, comforting and totally delicious.

Mexican Dorito Casserole
Serves about 6

Ingredients

2 c. shredded cooked chicken

1 c. shredded cheese (or more if you are a cheese hound)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup sour cream

1 can Ro-tel tomatoes (canned tomatoes with jalepenos-mild)

1/2 packet taco seasoning (or more- to taste)

Bag of regular nacho cheese doritos

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350-f degrees.

In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except doritos.

In a greased 2 qt baking dish, put a layer of crushed doritos (about 2 cups), then a layer of the chicken mixture. Repeat once more, ending with a layer of chicken mixture. Top with more shredded cheese, cover, and bake for 30-35 minutes, till bubbling hot.

I've died and gone to heaven! I made a casserole similar to this except that I used tortillas for the layers rather than Doritos. It was fabulous! I'm sure with the Doritos' texture, it would add something to it. YUM!!

Oh my gosh my 8 year old would love this - a dinner that incorporates Doritos! And that recipe over there for Choc. Dipped PB Krispies is SCREAMING at me to make them!! Yum....glad to meet your blog!Thanks for linking up to Mangia Mondays!

LOL, I just discovered you through Laura's blog (cooking photographer) but I already see we have a few things in common. I also call this trash food but I'm not quite as PC about it b/c I add "white" before the "trash." You know that taco salad made with Doritos, taco meat, and entire bottle of Catalina/French dressing, tons of cheese and a little lettuce? Yup. White trash taco salad. Loves it! I know I would love this one too. Wonder what that says about me? ;)

Hah - reciperhapsody: The original text for this I called it White Trash food, but I ended up editing it cause I was like, do I write that, is it rude? But yeah, that's what I call it in my head anyways. :)

Oh yeah and I totally know that salad you are referring to. That is a good one. :D

I found this recipe yesterday and made it for diner. It was yummy. I used low-fat (1%) yogurt instead of sour cream, plus, I did not use as much milk and instead of Doritos, I used tortilla chips because I had them at home. I was surpirsed at home much my husband like it. :)

Hannah, I've cooked the chicken and made the mix (not including chips) ahead of time and just covered it and stashed it all in the fridge...that way when I get home from work, the only part that's left is crushing the doritos, putting it in the pan, and baking. :)

So would this be good without the doritos baked in it.... like served over doritos? I was just thinking the if warmed up the next day, the doritos would be soggy. This sounds so delicious though that I can not wait to try it.

I make this but I use hamburger meat instead. Brown the meat, drain, add one can cream of chicken, one can enchilada sauce, some milk and then pour this mixture over the Doritos top with loads of cheese and bake at 350 for 30 min. my niece and nephew tear this up!

I made this last night but used salsa, green onions and added egg noodles. It was really good, next time I will omit the noodle idea for some reason I didn't think this would be much of a meal and got it in my head to add them, and it just didn't need them. =)

I made this when it was my turn for Bunko. I made it two ways. I replaced the chicken in your original recipe with ground beef and left out the tomatoes because a few of the ladies don't like them. The other version used chicken and replaced the taco seasoning with a ranch dressing mix and Ranch Doritos. It was fabulous. Thanks!!

Thank-you SO much for sharing this recipe... instant hit I've made it 2 times this week LOL :) P.S. For the chicken I used one of those rotisserie chickens from the grocery store and just ripped it apart because I'm lazy :)

Made this tonight and it was quite yummy! My boyfriend is a big fan of the Doritos tacos at Taco Bell, so he of course liked this. I made it jut as the recipe stated EXCEPT I slow-cooked my chicken all afternoon and when I did, I threw in cumin, garlic, chili and cayenne powders for some extra flavor. I used Aldi's store-brand of Doritos and they worked out perfectly along with their brands of cheese, sour cream and Rotel. Not sure I loved it enough to make it all the time, but the boyfriend just went back for seconds, so it will be made at least once a month, I'm sure. Thanks for sharing the recipe!:)

It am making this right now, and it already looks good, but you could have made some things more clear, I just got to the part where it says to top with more cheese, and I don't have any- you didn't say to reserve any for the end. I am sure it will be great though.

thanks so much for this recipe! its one of our favorites.. i make it about once a week! its amazing! there are never any leftovers! i use a few chicken breasts and just cut them into strips like for fajitas.. it seems easier to me and also more texture than shredding the chicken. also when i was out of rotel once i used salsa and it was just as good:)

I found this recipe through a pin on pinterest...it looked so yummy I hadt try it! Using a broasted chicken from the deli it was super easy and jut as yummy as it looks...thanks for a great recipe. I am now a follower and can't wait to try more of your recipes...Have a yummy day! :)

I made this for dinner tonight when my mom and sister stopped by for dinner! I adjusted the recipe a little but it was delicious nonetheless! I added a cup of plain long grain rice and didn't do the layers. I just mixed all the ingredients together minus the Doritos. Spread the rice mixture into a 13x9 glass baking dish. Topped with chips and cheese! So yummy! Thanks!

I have had a lifelong obsession with Doritos and I thought I had it all under control but then I moved to a new job where they sell them in the cafeteria and now the floodgates have opened and I want to Dorito everything up... they are just so good.

Just found your blog and I love it! I signed up for email alerts, look forward to seeing what is next!

I've been making a version of this since 1971 !! My kids, all grown now, love it and they all have the recipe. I always make it with chopped green chilis, and sometimes medium Salsa by Pace. I don't add the Rotel tomatoes. Nor do I add sour cream or milk. However, I do use Cr. of Chicken and Cr. of Mushroom soups with a rotisseried chicken, and LOTS of sharp cheddar cheese or a blend. YUMMO!It's the best kind of comfort food! I serve it with Spanish Rice and Ranch Beans. Sometimes I also serve my homemade Salsa alongside it. THANKS, Ali!
